Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy Are Back In New Before Midnight Photos

January 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

before-midnight-pic1After 1995’s Before Sunrise and 2004’s Sunset, it’s now time to catch up with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as Jesse and Celine in Before Midnight, which should hit UK cinemas later this year. Now ThePlaylist has a quartet of new images, showing the duo together again after nine years.

The images have arrived just as the movie is about to debut at Sundance, with many expecting a battle between distributors to erupt to be the one to release it, due to the cult hit value of the first two movies and therefore its in-built audience.

Not much is known about the plot, but it was shot in Greece last summer and sees Jesse and Celine once more using part of a day reignite their relationship.

First Official Kick Ass 2 Pic Arrives, Featuring Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars and Stripes

January 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kick-ass-2-pic1There have been numerous set photos from Kick-Ass 2 that have shown up online, but now we get our first official look at the movie, via EW (scanned in by BillKuchman), showing us both Aaron Johnson’s title character and newbie Jim Carrey and Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Here’s the tagline for the image: ‘In the action-comedy sequel Kick-Ass 2 (out June 28), the eponymous hero (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, right) joins a superhero team called Justice Forever, led by Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey, left). Chloe Grace Moretz reprises her role as Mindy, but has “given up Hit Girl and is trying to be a normal teenage,” says Jeff Wadlow, who picks up the directing reigns from Matthew Vaughn.’

Oh, and if you haven’t notices, take a closer look at the dog.

In this sequel, after Kick-Ass’ bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist — reborn as The Mother F%&*^r — only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

It hits cinemas July 19th.

Mama Tops The US Box Office, With Arnie’s Last Stand Sinking

January 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mama-poster-largeWhile many had tipped Zero Dark Thirty to top the US box office again, the Guillermo Del Toro produced horror, Mama, outpaced expectations to easily win the the weekend with $28.1 million in its first three days. Some had even predicted disaster for Mama, but in the end it gave Jessica Chastain a double whammy, as she stars in both the number one and two movies, Mama and Zero Dark Thirty.

Despite the presence of Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta Jones, Broken City could only make it to 5th spot with $9.0 million, far less than the makers would have hoped, even if January has become a bit of a dumping ground for studio product that they don’t have much hope for.

The final new entry was also the biggest disappointment. Many had high hopes for Arnie’s return to leading action man status, The Last Stand, but in the end it could only gross $6.3 and place tenth on the chart on its opening weekend. It’ll certainly be a disappointment for Schwarzenegger, who was hoping to come back with a bang.

However the biggest winner this weekend was Silver Linings Playbook, which thanks to its Oscar nomination added 1,700 screens and rose up to third place on the chart. It had its biggest weekend yet of $11.3 million on its tenth week of release.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of January 18th-20th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Mama $28.1 $28.1
2 Zero Dark Thirty $17.6 $55.9
3 Silver Linings Playbook $11.3 $55.3
4 Gangster Squad $9.1 $32.2
5 Broken City $9.0 $9.0
6 A Haunted House $8.3 $29.9
7 Django Unchained $8.2 $138.3
8 Les Miserables $7.8 $130.3
9 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey $6.4 $287.3
10 The Last Stand $6.3 $6.3

At Any Price Trailer – Zac Efron & Dennis Quaid butt heads as father & son

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

at-any-price-slideZac Efron is still in the process of going from teen heartthrob to fully fledged adult movie star. He’s had some success but hasn’t really done enough yet to secure his place on the a-list. While The Paperboy wasn’t well received, he got some good notices and now he’s got another proper grown up role in At Any Price from Goodbye Solo and Man Push Cart director Ramin Bahrani.

At Any Price follows a family farming business in the American Midwest. Dennis Quaid plays Henry Whipple, a life-long farmer who wants to pass the farm that has been in his family for generations on to his son, Dean (Efron). Unfortunately the son has no interest in agriculture and instead wants to become a race car driver. When the company business suddenly finds itself under investigation, however, the pressure that exists between the father and his boy threatens to explode.

The movie got good reviews on the festival circuit and will his US cinemas in April, although no UK date is set yet. [Read more…]

First Look At The Food-imals Of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Cloudy-2-pic1Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a surprise success in 2009, grossing over $250 million and ensuring that Sony was keen to get a sequel into production. That follow-up is due to his UK cinemas this October, and now we’ve got our first look at the movie, via USA Today.

The movie follows on directly from the events in the first movie, where eccentric inventor Flint Locklood caused chaos with a machine that turns water into food. Here’s the synopsis for Cloudy 2: : ‘In the wake of the disastrous food storm at the end of the first movie, Flint Lockwood and friends are forced to leave their town of Swallow Falls. But when it is discovered that sentient food beasts have overrun the island, they are asked to return to save the world…again.’

Bill Hader, who voices Lockwood, comments, “It’s [the machine] created these living food creatures that have basically taken over Flint’s home, the island where he lives. That island is kind of like Jurassic Park.”

You can get you first look at those food-imals above, and then head over to USA Today if you want close-ups of the creatures in the image.

Charlie Hunnam May Reunite With Guillermo Del Toro For Crimson Peak

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Charlie-HunnamGuillermo Del Toro must be impressed with Charlie Hunnam’s work on the upcoming Pacific Rim, as he’s already hoping to reunite with the British Son Of Anarchy actor for his next movie, Crimson Peak, according to Variety.

A few days ago it was revealed that Emma Stone is in early talks to star, although neither acting has signed on the dotted line. De Toro is trying to get the main cast set early, as he doesn’t plan to shoot the movie until early 2014.

No story details have been released for the movie, although Del Toro has previously described it as “A very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.” He has also compared it to Robert Wise’s The Haunting.

Guillermo del Toro is rewriting the screenplay with Lucinda Coxon, working from an original draft by Matthew Robbins.

Lance Armstrong Film Coming From JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lance-armstrongAfter spending years denying it, seven-time Tour de France winner (although those titles have been stripped) Lance Armstrong has admitted to Oprah Winrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

Hollywood is wasting no time trying to turn the tale into a film – something that’s legally a bit easier now that he’s admitted doping. Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures and JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production company have acquired the screen rights to Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong, the title of Juliet Macur’s book proposal that was just acquired by publisher HarperCollins.

J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk are producing for Bad Robot. No screenwriter has been set to adapt the material as of yet.

Juliet Macur is a sports journalist for The New York Times who has covered Armstrong for more than a decade following his recovery from testicular cancer and return to cycling to capture a record seven Tour de France titles.

Back in June 2009 Columbia Pictures signed up to develop an Armstong biopic with Gary Ross writing the screenplay, based on Lance Armstrong’s 2000 book It’s Not About the Bike. Perhaps luckily for them it didn’t go forward, seeing a much of the movie would have been based on lies.

Ray Liotta, Juno Temple & Jeremy Piven Join Sin City: A Dame to Kill

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ray-liottaMost films finalise their cast before they shoot, but due to the green screen nature of the Sin City films – where actors don’t even need to be in the same room at the same time to shoot a scene together – Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller seem to be going for an approach which is to see who’s free and then add cast members when they’re needed.

So despite it having already been shooting for quite a while, The Playlist has revealed Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, and Jeremy Piven have joined the ever-growing cast of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. However, no details have been released regarding their characters.

This follow-up to Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City features returning cast members as well as a number of new actors, some taking on previously established roles. Mickey Rourke (Marv), Jessica Alba (Nancy), Rosario Dawson (Gail), and Jaime King (Wendy) are reprising their original roles. Jamie Chung is replacing Devon Aoki as Miho, Dennis Haysbert takes over for the deceased Michael Clarke Duncan as Manute, and Josh Brolin steps in for Clive Owen as Dwight.

The film will hit cinemas this autumn.

Red 2 Trailer – Bruce Willis and co. are back in action

January 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Red was a surprise success in 2010, attracting an older audience to an action film than would normally go to the multitude of young guy oriented flicks we get each year. Now a sequel is on its way and the trailer is here.

The likes of Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich are back, this time joined by the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins and David Thewlis.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In RED 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they’ll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.’

The film hits cinemas in the UK on August 2nd.

Spring Breakers Trailer – Harmony Korine teams up with James Franco and goes a little girls gone wild

January 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Everything is about James Franco at the moment – this is the third story I’ve posted about him today! He stars in this one, teaming up with Gummo and Trash Humpers director for Spring Breakers.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Cotty (Rachel Korine), and Faith (Selena Gomex) have been best friends since grade school. They live together in a boring college dorm and are hungry for adventure. All they have to do is save enough money for spring break to get their shot at having some real fun. A serendipitous encounter with rapper “Alien” (James Franco) promises to provide the girls with all the thrill and excitement they could hope for. With the encouragement of their new friend, it soon becomes unclear how far the girls are willing to go to experience a spring break they will never forget.’

While the movie itself is getting mixed reviews, there’s been a lot of praise for Franco, who really seems to throw himself into the hair-braided role.
